I have a rather busy morning so only a few short links.
Israel rejects the Palestinian list of prisoners. Surprise, surprise.
Hezbollah is rearming and reading itself for a new summer war with Israel. Surprise, surprise.
Israeli court appointed lawyers for Hezbollah detainees from last summer’s conflict argue that their clients should be treated as prisoners of war rather than enemy combatants. So maybe there’s some truth in a joke that was going around last summer – Hezbollah is Lebanon and the rest are just tourists.
The new Palestinian Fatah-Unity government has appointed a new Minister of Tourism. I can't wait to see the brochures promoting the highlights of a tour of the Gaza Strip - and will it include guided tours of the tunnels? The jokes just write themselves with that one, but its got to be a thankless job.

Israel should go to war this time when Hezbollah attacks - or before the attack.
I love how Hezbo is phrasing their announcement:
"We are prepared for the possibility of another adventure or the demand of American policy that might push the IDF in that direction."
They are so obviously fishing for a pretext.
Actually, though, their time is short: If they don't attack before the Olmert gov't collapses, Israel might actually fight back.
Re PA Tourism:
They should market to niche travelers: ex-husbands.
"Palestine- the perfect vacation spot for you and your ex-wife!"
I tell you, it would sell like wildfire to guys like my brother...
